i lived in a "tiny" home for 25 years--think four room summer cabin--the thing that made it "do-able" was that it was off in the woods but still within walking distance from a village.being able to walk out the door and thru the woods for hours or down to a river and canoe for days made that tiny indoor space a happy place and not a "cell"..it was also a great place to come home to after a hard day at work with a 50 mile commute.
